chemical impregnation or other treatment), or 

product form. Unless specifically excluded, this 

definition covers all physical forms of certain 

activated carbon, including powdered activated 

carbon (‘‘PAC’’), granular activated carbon (‘‘GAC’’), 

and pelletized activated carbon. 

Excluded from this definition are chemicallyactivated carbons. The carbon-based raw material 

used in the chemical activation process is treated 

with a strong chemical agent, including but not 

limited to phosphoric acid, zinc chloride sulfuric 

acid or potassium hydroxide, that dehydrates 

molecules in the raw material, and results in the 

formation of water that is removed from the raw 

material by moderate heat treatment. The activated 

carbon created by chemical activation has internal 

porosity developed primarily due to the action of 

the chemical dehydration agent. Chemically 

activated carbons are typically used to activate raw 

materials with a lignocellulosic component such as 

cellulose, including wood, sawdust, paper mill 

waste and peat. 

To the extent that an imported activated carbon 

product is a blend of steam and chemically 

activated carbons, products containing 50 percent 

or more steam (or CO2 gas) activated carbons are 

within this definition, and those containing more 

than 50 percent chemically activated carbons are 

outside this definition. This exclusion language 

regarding blended material applies only to mixtures 

of steam and chemically activated carbons. 

Also excluded from this definition are reactivated 

carbons. Reactivated carbons are previously used 

activated carbons that have had adsorbed materials 

removed from their pore structure after use through 

the application of heat, steam and/or chemicals. 

Also excluded from this definition is activated 

carbon cloth. Activated carbon cloth is a woven 

textile fabric made of or containing activated carbon 

fibers. It is used in masks and filters and clothing 

of various types where a woven format is required. 

Any activated carbon meeting the physical 

description of subject merchandise provided above 

that is not expressly excluded from this definition 

is included within the definition.

of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of

by the Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) to be sold in the United 

States at less than fair value (LTFV). 

Background 

The Commission instituted this 

investigation effective March 8, 2006, 

following receipt of a petition filed with 

the Commission and Commerce by 

Calgon Carbon Corporation, Pittsburgh, 

PA, and Norit Americas, Inc., Marshall, 

TX. The final phase of the investigation 

was scheduled by the Commission 

following notification of a preliminary 

determination by Commerce that 

imports of certain activated carbon from 

China were being sold at LTFV within 

the meaning of section 733(b) of the Act 

(19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)). Notice of the 

scheduling of the final phase of the 

Commission’s investigation and of a 

public hearing to be held in connection 

therewith was given by posting copies 

of the notice in the Office of the 

Secretary, U.S. International Trade 

Commission, Washington, DC, and by 

publishing the notice in the Federal 

Register of November 16, 2006 (71 FR 

66793). The hearing was held in 

Washington, DC, on February 27, 2007, 

and all persons who requested the 

opportunity were permitted to appear in 

person or by counsel. 

The Commission transmitted its 

determination in this investigation to 

the Secretary of Commerce on April 16, 

2007. The views of the Commission are 

contained in USITC Publication 3913 

(April 2007), entitled Certain Activated 

Carbon from China: Investigation No. 

731–TA–1103 (Final). 

Issued: April 13, 2007. 

By order of the Commission.

[Inv. No. 337–TA–592] 

In the Matter of Certain Nand Flash 

Memory Devices and Components 

Thereof, and Products Containing 

Same; Notice of a Commission 

Determination Not To Review an Initial 

Determination Terminating the 

Investigation 

AGENCY: U.S. International Trade 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

the U.S. International Trade 

Commission has determined not to 

review an initial determination (‘‘ID’’) of 

the presiding administrative law judge 

(‘‘ALJ’’) terminating the above-captioned 

investigation under section 337 of the 

Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1337). The 

Commission has terminated the 

investigation based on a settlement 

agreement.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Commission instituted this investigation 

on February 15, 2007, based on a 

complaint filed on January 9, 2007, by 

Toshiba Corporation (‘‘Toshiba’’) of 

Japan. 72 FR 7457–8. The complaint, as 

supplemented, alleges violations of 

section 337 in the importation into the 

United States, the sale for importation, 

and the sale within the United States 

after importation of certain NAND flash 

memory devices and components 

thereof, and products containing same, 

by reason of infringement of U.S. Patent 

No. 6,703,658; U.S. Patent No. 

6,424,588; and U.S. Patent No. 

5,627,782. The complaint names two 

respondents: Hynix Semiconductor Inc. 

of Korea and Hynix Semiconductor 

America Inc. of San Jose, California 

(collectively ‘‘Hynix’’). The complaint 

further alleges that an industry in the 

United States exists as required by 

subsection (a)(2) of section 337. 

On March 22, 2007, respondent Hynix 

filed a joint motion to terminate the 

investigation on the basis of a settlement 

agreement. The Commission 

Investigative Attorney filed a response 

in support of the motion on March 30, 

2007. 

The ALJ issued the subject ID on 

April 3, 2007, granting the joint motion 

for termination. No party petitioned for 

review of the ID pursuant to 19 CFR 

210.43(a), and the Commission found no 

basis for ordering a review on its own 

initiative pursuant to 19 CFR 210.44. 

Accordingly, the Commission has 

determined not to review the ID. 

The authority for the Commission’s 

determination is contained in section 

337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and in 

sections 210.21(a)(2), (b) and 

210.42(h)(3) of the Commission’s Rules 

of Practice and Procedure. 

Issued: April 16, 2007. 

By order of the Commission. 

Marilyn R. Abbott, 

Secretary to the Commission.
